I finally got out early. I tried something different and took a few shots with the 70-200. I have a couple more I hope to work on this weekend and will post soon (depending on the size of the honey do list). It felt good to click that shutter again!

Plenty of potential in the image, though I think the highlights / shadows could be added to bring more of the lake and shoreline into view (subtle hints of the shoreline & lake would make this one pop).

Great shot! I know where you took this from and Koala, there isn't any shoreline to show. Lake Michigan is a HUGE lake! I think it's a great shot, especially this time of year in Chicago!

True...(sorry brain fried after a long week) was more thinking of having enough highlights/shadows to see from the foreground to the far horizon of the lake, as well as the sunrise.

Thanks for the comments. I do have one more similar to this I am working on but a little more zoomed in. I also have a few with some foreground as suggested. I will post some as soon as I get them processed.

Maybe do a single shot HDR to bring out the sun's reflection on the water a bit. I do like that seagul flying off on the right though.
